Saint David (Welsh: Dewi Sant; c. 500 – c. 589) was a Welsh bishop of Menevia during the 6th century; he was later regarded as a saint and as the patron saint of Wales. David was a native of Wales and a relatively large amount of information is known about his life. However his birth date is still uncertain as suggestions range from 462 to 512. The Welsh annals place his death 569 years after the birth of Christ but Phillimore’s dating revised this to 601.
